The Hippocampus erectus , also known as the striped seahorse, is a striking and beloved addition to the marine aquarium. These specimens are tank-bred , meaning they have been bred in captivity. This not only makes them stronger and better adapted to life in an aquarium, but it also contributes to the conservation of natural populations. With their graceful movements and unique appearance, they are a beautiful addition for the serious marine aquarist.

Why choose tank-bred Hippocampus erectus?

• Better survival chances: Tank-bred seahorses are accustomed to aquarium conditions and generally accept frozen food more easily.
• Environmentally friendly: By choosing farmed animals, you help protect wild populations.
• Calm nature: These seahorses are social, peaceful, and can live well together with other calm species.
• Unique behavior: Watch how they cling to the decorations and each other with their little tails, a fascinating sight.
